Project Summary

We need to save or conserve energy because of most of the energy sources we depend on, like coal and natural gas can’t be replaced. In today’s world we all are well acquainted with our nation’s energy scenario. We are well aware of fact that not only available power is less than wasted on large scale. The wastage is in form of unnecessary usage of lighting, low power factor and similar other factors. As we know major source of energy to produce electricity is hydroelectricity energy i.e. energy is generated using water force which is converted into potential energy which ultimately leads to increase the cost required to produce energy, instead if we use solar energy it would be cost efficient. So it is necessary for efficient and renewable energy system that has greater advantages. Most of time we see street lights are ON even after sunrise thus by having a smart system which turns ON and OFF street lights of given time or when ambient light falls below a specific intensity. In our project we are using motion sensors i.e. IR sensors which detect the motion of the object passing through it, using this motion of object LED’s are turned ON using Arduino. Solar energy is the main renewable source utilized from biomass and solar collectors to provide ventilation specifically driven by solar power. To achieve the various concepts have been considered in order to optimize zero carbon emissions with regard to fossils fuel, over the life of a commercial sized building.

Project Objectives

The objectives of this project are to:

1-To compensate the growing energy demand by using renewable energy source as Solar.

2-To light the streets of rural areas with transmission lines as well as solar power where there are so many power cuts occurs.

3-Low power consumption

4-Low maintenance

5-High way /patio lighting/Building Parking / Bike Path /Suitable forCourtyard / Garden / Park / Street / Roadway / Pathway / Parking Lot /Private Road / Sidewalk / Public Square / Plaza / Campus / Farm &Ranch / Perimeter Security / Wildlife area / Remote Area / Military Baseetc.

Project Implementation Method

In this project, basically solar panels are used to charge batteries by converting sunlight into electric energy, reflecting below block diagram we can see that charge controller circuit is used to control charging. This project works on principle of solar cell. This project is designed for LED based street lights withscheduled ON time control by an Arduino board using solar power from solar cells and rechargeable battery.we use GPS system for emergency situation also use counter for count that how many time our light ON.

6. GPS for emergency situation

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. Street lights in the beginning were manually controlled; latter they were controlled via time control and optical control manner. These methods are very costly and noted for difficulty in monitoring. They involve high power consumption. The universal observation is that about 20% power consumption occurs through street lighting system due to their designs as per old standards which do not incorporate the latest technology features.
